To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n+9.25) = -120.72, we can start by distributing the 50.3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

50.3n + 50.3(9.25) = -120.72

Multiplying 50.3 by 9.25 gives:

50.3n + 464.575 = -120.72

Next, we can isolate the term with n by subtracting 464.575 from both sides of the equation:

50.3n = -120.72 - 464.575

Simplifying the right side:

50.3n = -585.295

Finally, we can solve for n by dividing both sides of the equation by 50.3:

n = -585.295 / 50.3 ≈ -11.65

Therefore, the solution for n is approximately -11.65.
